NAME

  get_temporary_buffer  - Pointer based primitive for handling memory

SYNOPSIS

  #include <memory>

  template <class T>
  pair<T*, ptrdiff_t> get_temporary_buffer (ptrdiff_t, T*);

DESCRIPTION

  The get_temporary_buffer templated function reserves from system memory the
  largest possible buffer that is less than or equal to the size requested
  (n*sizeof(T)), and returns a pair<T*, ptrdiff_t> containing the address and
  size of that buffer.  The units used to describe the capacity are in
  sizeof(T).
